Ciao!

Careful what you ask for

I got the call this morning: The Motron is ready. And is it ever. It's got more power than I'd ever imagined. A bit too much, perhaps. The top speed isn't quite as high as Lucia's (though still high), but it's acceleration and thrust is undeniable. LeoVinci exhaust, 16.16 Dell'Orto carb, and Sava MC 10 racing tires. Thanks, Dan!

I wasn't used to the power — and took a bit of a spill. In a sharp right turn, I pulled a rookie mistake: I second-guessed myself. Committed to a sharp turn, I tried to widen my turn's arc. W/ an engine that didn't want to slow down, I quickly ran out of driveway.

I dumped the bike (or did it dump me?), slid away from it on the asphalt. The Motron roared, crawling on its side along the driveway. I reached back over myself to shut the engine off. No major damage, just a few scrapes, a very sore right hand, and a tear in my cords.

Oh, yeah, I'm gonna like The Motron.
